By The Numbers: Cowboys-Rams was a whole lot of fun, analytically speaking

In the Cowboys Week 8 win, they showed things are evolving, they’re great at home, coverage and pass protection are better than advertised. | From @ReidDHanson

With the Cowboys 43-20 win over the Rams, they move to 5-2 and claim the second-best record in the NFC. Their decisive victory over the playoff hopeful Rams acted as a statement coming out of the bye week. It showed they could be dominant in all three phases, and it showed their offense was still evolving.

The Jeckel and Hyde start to the season had them in the hunt all season but did little to quiet skeptics. Both critics and supporters are sure to be scouring through the numbers of this Week 8 showdown to support their respective arguments.

And the numbers were telling. From running game success rate, to play-calling, to snaps, coverage and pass protection, the numbers showed inquiring minds much this week.

What might the numbers show exactly from Cowboys vs Rams?
